I tried to answer some of this here: http://99seats.blogspot.com/2009/06/under-influence.html

I think there's a conversation with these Parents, this lineage, a back-and-forth that happens. We listen, we talk, we take what we need. Honoring, to me, doesn't mean not questioning, not pushing the edges and raw parts. It's asking questions about the scars and tattoos and choices, then taking your own path out in the world. Things die when we revere our Parents too much.
